NaNoWriMo

Tuesday, November 10, 2015


Hey guys, it's November! Can you believe it? Because I can't. Time is going so fast.
Anyways, November means so many different things for me, like exams! sweater weather! beautiful park walks with all the fallen leaves!
But most of all November 2016 for me means NaNoWriMo.

Friday, October 23, 2015

Series: Snow Like Ashes
Genre: YA | Fantasy
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
My rating: 
It’s been three months since the Winterians were freed and Spring’s king, Angra, disappeared—thanks largely to the help of Cordell. Meira just wants her people to be safe. When Cordellan debt forces the Winterians to dig their mines for payment, they unearth something powerful and possibly dangerous: Primoria’s lost chasm of magic. Theron sees this find as an opportunity—with this much magic, the world can finally stand against threats like Angra. But Meira fears the danger the chasm poses—the last time the world had access to so much magic, it spawned the Decay. So when the king of Cordell orders the two on a mission across the kingdoms of Primoria to discover the chasm’s secrets, Meira plans to use the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safe—even if it means clashing with Theron. But can she do so without endangering the people she loves? Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Januari—leaving Winter vulnerable to Cordell’s growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, he decides to take Winter’s security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken kingdom and protect them from new threats? As the web of power and deception weaves tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedom—and Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter, but for the world.

This has happened to me way too often. It will probably happen again and again. So to share my love for some books and maybe expand the fandom, I decided to present you a couple of my favourite underrated books. Today on the menu: The Archived by Victoria Schwab.

Loving Problematic Books

Thursday, September 17, 2015


Recently I got a message on tumblr, criticising me for liking Sarah J. Maas "problematic books". 
At first I was pretty confused. While reading the first books of the series I didn't notice any problematic stuff. So I decided to educate myself and after a quick search on tumblr and a bit of asking around I realized, that yes, the Throne of Glass, as well as A Court of Thorns and Roses are both indeed problematic.
And this made me wonder, aren't all books problematic? And can't I just enjoy them nevertheless?
